Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Calcium scoring of the coronary arteries is use as a predictor of coronary stenosis. The aim of this study is to measure the calcium scoring of the abdominal aorta using an helicoidal fast scan and to correlate this measurement with classical cardiovascular risk factors and newer parameters reflecting vascular rigidity, like pulse velocity measurement.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

1

There is only one arm and all patients will have their aortic calcium scoring by CT scan.

Helicoidal fast scann

Intervention Type DEVICE

Each patient will have an computed aortic tomodensitometric scan without contrast injection. This procedure lasts few minutes and irradiation is low. The aortic calcium scoring is calculated using a specific program included in the scan machine
